Many were surprised when I expressed skepticism about the value of anti-bias training. I do believe racial bias is real and pervasive. I don't believe you can be trained out of it unless you are open to unlearning it. To me, addressing structural inequities is far more important.

@msjenniferbarry Thank you for everything!!! I’ve loved getting to know you over the past year. Sarah Smith is so lucky to have you next year!!

[Mr. Bridgeforth @MrJBridgeforth]

@MrsAshleyAdamo @ToomerES @USCRossier @blkoutloud Thank YOU for the opportunity! I’m so glad that you took the chance and reached out because I was definitely right where I needed to be this year.

[Mr. Bridgeforth @MrJBridgeforth]

Anddd that’s it! Day 1 vs. today. This year at @ToomerES has definitely been one full of memories that I’ll never forget!

Some personal news: I’ll be moving on to start my PhD at @USCRossier in the fall, so follow me at @blkoutloud if you want to keep in touch!

[Mr. Bridgeforth @MrJBridgeforth]

@MsTiffanyOlive They were! I still have a bunch of supplies so expect your delivery next week

[Mr. Bridgeforth @MrJBridgeforth]

They were so excited that:
1. the ovens actually worked
and
2. They could share them with y’all!

It was a perfect way to end the day!

It’s important for educators at all levels to engage in this work to bring about real, systemic change in education. Excited to be featured in EdWeek this morning! https://t.co/BsLyJCcl7l

I might be just a tiny bit biased but I’ve had the BEST student teacher in @apsupdate! Our class is going to miss her SO much but we know she’s going to be 🔥🔥🔥 with her own class in August! @CarstarphenMJ @Atldepsupt @DrEmilyAMassey

My @CREATE_TRP resident Ms. Murphy led a PHENOMENAL lesson this afternoon on fractions! Kids were super engaged AND started to build a conceptual understanding of equivalent fractions.

We loved our visit to @CNCNature! It was great to get some fresh air and see some amazing wildlife!

[Mr. Bridgeforth @MrJBridgeforth]

I know this had to be expensive BUT imagine an entire school full of murals like this!! Maybe a little overwhelming for some but still really cool 😍

[Mr. Bridgeforth @MrJBridgeforth]

@MrsKaitieClark @ToomerES @msjenniferbarry 😂😂😂 this was a perfect shot! Can’t wait for another semester full of fun and laughter!
